CJ,they are quite crazy about carp in Europe and I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it.The best I've had was called crucian carp (in Bulgarian) that they nicknamed big mouth carp.Being that it was a filter feeder and not a bottom feeder it had a very nice taste and from what I'm told it's similar to the Asian invasive carp we have here in flavor.
